XnView should meet those requirements, as far as I can see.

My first thought was indeed Blinding Lights.

You brought up specifically HD. I’m willing to watch ads so that YT can continue delivering even lower quality videos as long as those ads don’t interrupt the video.

So hide the HD stuff behind a paywall. I’m perfectly happy at 720p for the VAST majority of videos. Might even agree to go lower if it means I can watch it without ad breaks.

Oh come on, really? Is the problem ultrarich people? Or is the problem poor people who won’t eat those ultrarich people?

That was a gazillion years ago. Probably some fandom thing? Seems likely.

Productive is not what I’d call what I do but anyway: I don’t follow things that make me miserable or even just “people”. My feeds are full of all kinds of fun stuff, like my fandoms or science or art. So I don’t ever “doom scroll”, really, but read about what other people thought about that newest episode or some new thought they had about an ancient episode or general fan squealing about a ship or the newest weird findings about spinosaurus or ‘look at these new photos Perseverance has taken’ or ‘look at this detail in this awesome painting’ or ‘this is how to improve this aspect in your drawings’.

Yes I am on tumblr. Yes I am on tumblr too much.

The only opinion that matters here is your partner’s.

Yep.

Those evil, evil bastards did not think you were important enough to waste time writing a reply. Shame on them. Shame I say.

This was sarcasm, btw. Get over yourself.

Thankfully the phone regularly probes home to fix this sort of mess

Well yes. There are people who receive money from reddit in exchange for services rendered, making reddit a legitimate company that can be held to higher standards. And then there are the mods (who, as we all know, are le ghey) who need to be protected from this fact of reality at all costs.

The difference being that one is a system held together by volunteers, spit and floss, dreams and hopes, the other is a major website that pays people real world money to prevent shit from happening. (also, don’t reddit)

your entire financial world

You mean the 6.50 on my bank account?

It’s not just the name, from the description I’d also assume that it accepts cookies or at least most of them.

Wait, I thought that just accepted everything? Because if you don’t care about cookies, you’d be fine with anything, no? But “rejecting” cookie banners to me implies rejecting cookies which is different if I’m not mistaken.

That’s the same thinking that leads to “what’s my one vote going to do?”

What I meant to say with my original comment was mostly “okay but still maybe don’t go there now (and add to the traffic)”. It was aimed at people here, not those who are still active over there. I don’t know whether reddit will care more about not getting traffic from us or about being shat on. But one of those options also seems healthier so I think that’s the one to choose. If you think you need the catharsis of yelling at spez, I wouldn’t dream of stopping you.

Sure, that’s a valid view, but a healthy divorce also doesn’t include yelling obscenities at the other parent in public and raiding the house you both used to live in (not that I object to the language used). It’s still minimising contact to what’s necessary. And maybe accepting that some kids would like to stay with the other parent and focusing on those kids that want to stay with you.

I do think it would be best for most of us. Not least because it’s more important to build our space here on Lemmy than to waste time on a site that we want/expect/hope to fail. The analogy with a nasty breakup isn’t too farfetched - try to avoid running into your ex, at least for a while, it can only lead to more pain and won’t help you move on. Especially when there’s a real possibility that your ex actually benefits financially from the two of you meeting.
